[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#556461: avahi-daemon: "Invalid response packet" messages make daemon.log unreadable

[Francesco Potortì]

Package: avahi-daemon
Version: 0.6.25-1
Severity: minor

I have my daemon.log full of lines like these:

Nov 16 10:27:23 ala avahi-daemon[2391]: Invalid response packet from host fe80::21f:5bff:fef3:ff0b.
Nov 16 10:27:23 ala avahi-daemon[2391]: Invalid response packet from host 146.48.82.63.

Since I do not control hosts on my network, those lines are useless to
me.  However, they constitute 98% of lines in my daemon.log, because
they are generated at about 3-seconds intervals.

I think this problem is serious enough to classify it as a bug, because
it makes my daemon.log difficult to manage and read.  There should be a
way to disable those warnings, or at least have them generated at much
longer intervals.
